- Sex toys in Alabama: illegal! Vibrators are, very clearly, detrimental to the public. Morally reprehensible. Obscene. (via boingboing)

- Also: yet another round of interviews at Google, next week? They just don't stop! I think this might be the last interview trip, maybe? Just two sessions, though, and this time, it's right down the street at the Atlanta office, hooray! Maybe they'll have me over for lunch. They said that if they hire me, my first project is going to be with GWTK, which is pretty rockin'.

- Also also: zomg, I need to not ever sleep again. So much to do.

Interesting tactic!

I wonder what sort of idea he might have, and whether he needs a company that super-gigantic to pull it off? Like, what could you hope to do with two guys in a dorm room that can't be done with some money and a few more programmers?

Hopefully, on all counts :)

But lunch is probably the most important thing...

It's illegal to sell dildos in Georgia. Every phallus at Inserections is technically an "adult novelty".

Interesting, huh! Is there some difference between a dildo and otherwise phallic Adult Novelties?

Yup. The legality.

This is good news! I think this is the "Meet a higher-up guy who offers you the job unless you happen to call him a dingo bitch" kind of interview.

That's one of the more awesomer projects at Google. I know waaayyyy too much about Javascript browser quirks. If you ever want to know how to get back button support for Safari, I'll hook you up!

*laughs* Thanks thanks! It does sound pretty awesome. I must admit I haven't played with GWTK yet, but I probably should soon...

What I wonder: is taking the annoyance out of dealing with quirky browsers encouraging quirkiness in them? Or what can we do to make things more compatible in the long run?

Perhaps the answer is "get jobs at Microsoft, Apple, and Opera, then do stuff with Mozilla in our spare time"?

Bon chance in your interview and hope they fill you with many a vegan treats.

Man, after all this, they'll either have to hire you or kill you! You know too much!

Seriously, though: good luck!

If Peter Norvig (Director of Search Quality and Popping Caps In Those Who Know Too Much) comes after me, I've got problems...

plz add file uploads. thx

Essh. Does GWTK not support file uploading yet?

I'll put a little "TODO" flag in their TodoList.java! (everybody uses this technique, right?)

(or do you mean file uploads for Adult Novelties? ...)
From: [identity profile] cola-fan.livejournal.com
As far as I know, GWTK (at least the public one) does not support file uploading widgets yet.

Make sure you remove the gwtk.agent.* package.

Pretty sure vibrators are also illegal in GA. and a couple other states as well. Vagina Monologues has a fantastic quip about who ever heard about a mass murder being commited using a vibrator or something along those lines (as it is legal to sell guns in all those states).
